The bear is getting to be a problem

About 8:30 last night I heard the sound of the bear wrestling with our garbage can! He was trying to maneuver the big rubbermaid can from the inside corner of carport to drag it out in front of truck, between the recycling box and a smoker, to get it out in the side yard. It was hard work but he didn't want to give up. I really wanted to go outside but that would not be smart, so I got  Randy up.  He'd gone to bed early that night but it didn't do him any good! He had the sense to use the truck key fob to beep the light and horn several times and still, when he opened the door, he got a glimpse of the bear making a run for it. 

We picked up trash, bagged it, and put it in the freezer. Despite the size of the bear, he's not very destructive. There was just a couple of bite marks on the can; then I remember how hard it is to damage a heavy duty rubbermaid can.

8:30 is pretty early for a bear to be making the rounds. Now I don't go out to put recycling away after it gets dark - it can all wait until morning!
